To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NORMAN OLARK, of Sterling, in the county ofi/Vhitesides and State of Illinois, have invented a certain Improvementin Ironing-Tables, of which the following is a specification:

The design of the present invention is to provide a cheap and convenientfolding table and ironing-board, that can be easily and cheaply made,and in use will possess the advantage of admirable adaptation to theends and objects for which it is intended, and when not in use or forstorage or transportation, can be readily folded and packed into thesmallest compass; and to this end the invention consists, moreparticularly, in the construction and combination of the several partsand pieces which constitute the said device, and in the means forconnecting and uniting the board to the table, all as will now be morein detail set out and explained.

In the accompanying drawings, the same letters of reference are used inall the figures in the designation of identical parts.-

Figure l is a perspective view of the table with ironing-board adjustedready for use.

H is the stud by which the ironing-board F isattached to the table L, bymeans of slot H in its side and a wedge or key, I, which, fitting in thesupplemental sloth, secures and fastens the stud to the table, and whichalso supports an iron cricket, K, on its top. M is the slot in theboard, which receives the neck of the stud H; G G, legs supportingironingboard.

stud and key, as above described, and supported over and upon thetable-top by the legs or other suitable means placed at convenientdistance from the stud.

When this ironing-board is not Wanted for use as such it may be turnedaside, swiveling upon the stud and connecting means, or it may beremoved altogether by withdrawing the key or wedge.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The table-top L, in combination with stud H, provided with slots H and hand key or Wedge I, ironing-board F, and legs G, substantially as andfor the purposes set forth,-

NORMAN CLARK.
